The art department have showcased the many talents of the GCSE and A Level artists’ work for their examinations last Summer in a recent exhibition. Current and former pupils, parents, and staff visited the exhibition in the gallery and foyer to view the fantastic displays. All of the 2011 leavers who studied art went onto study architecture or art and design and one, Katie Grant, returned to King’s especially to view her work.. Katie has gone on to study a foundation course in Art and Design at Central St Martin’s College of Art, London where she hopes to continue her studies and specialise in graphics at degree level.
